Hey @FitzAuer,

this is not possible yet. Google is still working on making this possible and mentioned it's a high priority feature, coming early 2020. I would therefore recommending to keep an eye on the social media channels or on blog.google to see when it'll actually launch.

How will family link integrate into stadia? Will you be able to share games with family members in order to play together? Or will I have to buy a separate copy of the game for each child?

  • ANDREY: Family Link is supported on Day 1 to provide parents the ability to manage their child’s experience on Stadia. As a parent you have controls in your Family link app on the phone and the Stadia parental dashboard.
  • Family Sharing is not supported on day 1, so you’ll have to buy games for your child’s account. But it’s a high priority feature, we’re planning to launch early next year.

Hehe yeah Vanterax, "early 2020" is not working anymore xD

Let's hope it's still coming 2020.

Any news on this?  My son & I have always played games together and I'm not purchasing multiple times on anything, to get set up.  This is a necessity and should be priority A#1.

any update? we are getting to the point where it will determine if I get a next-gen console or not... This is my single biggest issue. I have 4 kids, they all game and so does my wife and I. Buying 6 copies of a game because of this is a major deal-breaker for buying a game on Stadia vs console.

Like other platforms like Xbox etc a family option would be more than welcome. What is a big fun part of playing games? Play together with family members at least at the same location (at home, connected to same wifi). No way to buy games multiple times to make that happen. Please Stadia bring this option soon!
